Everyone involved, including band directors and band members, must contribute to the overall success of the marching band. Months before marching season begins, all materials must be prepared. This includes drill, coordinate sheets, and music. Usually, a drill writer is hired to…

right Stage. I find it interesting how they showed Princess Aurora behind the background curtain of the forest to assimilate her image while the Lilac fairy was explaining it to Prince Desire. Then Princess Aurora entered right upper stage but never dances with the prince because she was just the image of how The Lilac fairy was describing her to Prince desire. In this Act, Princess Aurora’s dress color changed a white but with a very soft, light green. I believe that was because it made her…

This anthology of poems is about dance. The poems are divided into three categories. The first category is how an aspiring or retired dancer acts throughout their day. The second category is the fear of being on stage and performing. The third category is how everybody incorporates dance into their daily lives. Everyone dances in their own way. Here is a deeper look into the first category, daily lives of aspiring or retired dancers. When a dancer has a desire to become a professional, they…

I believe that taking dance lessons, stretching, rehearsing dances and cheers, and my academic record lead up to me making the cheer squad, something I enjoy doing on my freetime. Having experience in something can help you in the long run. I have been dancing since I was three years old all the way up to middle school and taking gymnastics classes here and there. In cheerleading, dancing and gymnastics play a big role. During halftime, sometimes the cheerleaders do a dance and throw back…

Growing up, I took ballet once or twice a week. I had an instructor at my old studio who really gave me my ballet foundation when I was young. I finally realized how important ballet was when I was in eighth grade or about freshman year of high school. However, I had no classes available for me to take besides twice a week with the same instructor. When I moved studios senior year of high school, I started taking ballet 3-4 times per week with an instructor that really educated, pushed, and…

Eight-year-old Lucy hesitated as she approached the pull-up bar, reluctant to proceed. Skills-tests started today; the day she would demonstrate her progress at TAG Gymnastics' summer program. Uncertain of her own skills, Lucy studied her fellow gymnasts as they prepared for their turn. The girls, self-assured and wearing perfectly-fitted leotards, were built for gymnastics: long, lean, and athletic. To pull themselves up and over the well-worn, padded bar would be easy for them. They had…

love with dance by starting by describing the first time I saw the Nutcracker ballet. I pointed to the stage and said, “I want to do that.” I was a toddler and I found my passion.

Spending my dance career from age three to nineteen studying ballet, I decided to expand my dance training. Trying out for my college’s dance team provided a different approach to dance than…

This was due to the development of the Pointe shoe, it was a milestone in classical dance that gave the female dancer an advantage over males. The audiences were fascinated with the dancers ability to stand on…
